Stocks that rise when the S&P 500 falls are keeping up with the rest of Wall Street. It’s weird.

These so-called negative-beta stocks, which typically rise when the S&P 500 falls, are surprisingly performing just as well as other Wall Street stocks, according to a strategist. This phenomenon is providing investors with a unique way to navigate market volatility. The implications are significant as it suggests that investors might find stability and growth even during downturns, reshaping traditional market strategies. This trend could influence how portfolios are constructed and how investors approach risk management.
